Less data entry. More time to sell. ✈️

"Why should a travel professional manually enter information that already exists?" Our Chairman & CEO, Lee Smolinski, asked that question, and it's the idea behind the latest upgrades to Freedom, our in-house CRM and business management platform.

Travel Market Report just covered what's new for OASIS advisors:

✅ Booking details pulled automatically from supplier confirmations
✅ Client profiles, payments, documents and trips all in one place
✅ Chairman's Club rewards earned through the business you already report
✅ A new Destination Hub with destination-specific selling tools
✅ OTN-exclusive, Signature and supplier promotions in one easy spot
✅ New features rolled out based on your feedback

Less time on admin means more time building relationships and selling travel.

A big part of the day was spending time with our incredible supplier partners — getting to know them, learning more about what they offer, and building relationships that go beyond the business.

It’s always exciting to discover new travel possibilities, but it’s the people and the connections along the way that make these experiences truly special.

Here’s to more learning, more exploring, and more great partnerships!

There are many different business models in the travel industry, but after nearly four decades of owning and operating a travel agency, Lee Smolinski, Chairman & CEO of Oasis Travel Network, believes one thing has remained clear: the advisor creates tremendous value.
